Bugil Art Festival Day

Today was one of our school's big festivals. The students put their creative work on display, made and served food, put on a play, and had all sorts of talent shows. I got electrocuted by the students of the Engineering Club who then explained various electronics at their booth. With the Science Club, we got to create glow sticks from scratch. At another booth Jennika made some room spray/air freshener with tea tree oil, eucalyptus, and lemon. We even took an old school Polaroid picture together!!!



The homemade shock device! he he.

Jennika and I making glow sticks. To get the chemicals into the tub we used syringes. Not so easy. 

Jennika got to make perfume like an expert chemist.

Next we saw the students give an entertaining druming performance similar to the one we saw at Chuseok. They were wearing costumes and ran all the way up the hill and into the soccer field where they did some cool formations, all while keeping beat.

We got to enter the girls school, which we don't often do because it is on the other side of campus. Inside they served us waffles (so good), a parfait, and then we got our hands on some soft shell tacos. To show our appreciation we danced to Gangnam style. The girls really enjoyed our dance moves. Especially when I shook my tush down to the floor. The room erupted with screams and laughter.

Also in the girls school, there was an art display. Jennika and I are looking into purchasing some from the students to help decorate our apartment.

I love the movement in this one.

This owl is so cool. I don't feel the same way about the fish.

Giraffes!

Frogs!

Sunflowers Stiples.

This one is made from what looks like rock shavings. Stunning!

Later in the day, the students had a talent show with a singing competition. One of my students Seong Pil participated and blew the socks off everyone and left his competition in the dust. We didn't stay for the results be we voted for him. The stage was very elaborate, with smoke, bubbles and even pyrotechnics!!


One student singing his heart out.

All in all it was a really fun day. It was nice to see the students just being regular teenagers, and not study machines or robots. Jennika's students were interacting with the girls from the Girls School, flirting and holding hands. And we got to see their more creative and talented sides. It was nice.

Sending love to everyone back home,

JaMs (and Jennika)
